the Chambers.


PARIS, Nov. 2l-M. Grevy has requested
M. kibot TO form a Cabinet, and charged
him TO convey to the Chambe his message
OF resignation NJ. Ribot consented, but
advised NJ, Grevy that as the message was
political act the tenor Of which required
the approval OF the Cabinet, the President
ought TO confer with the retiring Min
isters. NJ. Grevy accordingly summoned
M. Rouvier and his colleagues. The
Ribot Cabinet will probably include NJ.
Fiourens, NJ. Waldecls- Rousseau, NJ Sadi-
Carnot and General Ferron. The Radical
Journals strongly opposed the election Of
General Sausfer to the Presidency. 1t is
reported that NJ. Ribot, In second inter
view with NJ. Grevy to-day advised the
President to retain the Rouvier Ministry
in Office until he had resigned. The Journal
DIES Debdts predicts a definite settlement of
the crisis tomorrow Immediately
upon NJ. Grevy's announcement OF

OF Radicals today II was decided TO reso-
lutely oppose any military candidate. Tho
Ronvier Cabinet had conference with NJ.
Greyy to-day. NJ, Grevy intimated that
he had definitely decided 10 resign. His
message will be read in the Chamber OF

shown the text OF NJ Grevy's

saying that II would cause a storm in the
Chamber. NJ, Ribot overcame NJ. Rou-
vier's objection, but he himself is urging
NJ, Grevy TO modify the message. NJ.
Groyy appears TO have greatly aged with
in the last few dnys. The Republican
party desires 10 hold caucus before Con-

MODESTO CAL, Nov. 27.-A body was
found hanging to tree in Patterson's
field, about half mile west OF Oakdale,
yesterday morning Investigation provot
the body to be that OF boy named
Frank McCutcheJn, aged sixteen years.
and that he came to his death at the
hands Of a mob. Oakdale has been visited
by great many fires recently, all OF
which gave unmistakable evidence OF
being the work Of an incendiary. Friday
evening, about eight o'clock, young Nc
Cutcheon was caught IN the act of setting
fire TO barn belonging to Mollester q
Dunlap, and was taken before Justice
Warder, who held him TO answer before
the superior court. Excitement was
running high in Oakdale, and 1t was
deemed precautionary measure to
move the prisoner Immediately TO
the county jail and Constable James Saw
antal started out at late hour for this
city. At Patterson's field the constable
was oyerpowered by crowd, who took
the culprit out Of the officers charge and
hanged him to an oak tree in the field near
the road. Deceased was brother
to the boy McCutcheou, who was con
victed and sentenced to eight years
Imprisonment by the Superior Court
of this county few months since
for the murder of his step-brothcr
last Christmas, and has borne an un-
savory reputation. Before being hanged
the boy confessed, acknowledging ten or
twelve incendary fires with which Oak
dale has been visited within the past two
weeks. The discovery Of the boy kindling
the fire last night pointed suspicion for all
of the fires to him, which undoubtedly in
censed the populace to the unlawful act
committed. A man named Manuel has
been arrested as an accessory.
